Eddie Langlinais sworn in as new Vermilion Parish Sheriff

The last time someone could say, “There is a new sheriff in Vermilion Parish,” was 20 years ago when Mike Couvillon took office — before Couvillon, another 20 years had passed since Ray Lemaire was sworn in.
For only the fourth time in 60 years, Vermilion Parish has a new sheriff: Eddie Langlinais from Delcambre.
